Froyo has officially hit the EVO 4G on Sprint (earlier than expected, no less!) and word has just reached us that the original Droid has started receiving the OTA update as well. Now all that’s left is the Droid X and the triumvirate of killer Android smartphones will have the latest and greatest of both hardware and software. It is also expected that when the Droid 2 ships on August 12th, it will come with Android 2.2 pre-loaded onto the device.

The update to Froyo seems less fraught with drama than the Eclair update to the Droid, and proves that when the carriers work with the manufacturer and the provider efficiently, things actually get done. I think the multiple-times delayed rollout of the Android 2.1 update for the Droid taught Motorola and Verizon a big lesson.

According to Android Central, the steps are pretty simple:

• Grab the update file
• Place it on the root of your SD card
• Power down, then restart while holding the X key to get to the bootloader
• When you see the exclamation mark, hold the volume up button and press the camera button
• Choose apply sdcard:update.zip
• Ignore the cache error
• Reboot

Easy peezy.
